Finding the Perfect Dollhouse for Your Child
Choosing the right dollhouse is one of the most exciting purchases you can make for a child. A quality dollhouse provides years of imaginative play, storytelling opportunities, and creative expression. At Playroom Avenue, we offer a carefully curated selection of dollhouses to suit every child's needs and every family's budget.
Consider Your Child's Age and Development
The first factor to consider is your child's age and developmental stage. All of our dollhouses are suitable for children ages 3 and up, but different styles offer varying levels of complexity:
For Younger Children (Ages 3-5): Look for dollhouses with simple, open designs and fewer small parts. Our Slide N Go Dollhouse ($179.99) is perfect for this age group. It's portable, fully assembled, and comes with 20 pieces of furniture. The unique sliding design allows children to rearrange the three units in various ways, promoting creativity while being easy to manage.
For Older Children (Ages 6+): More complex dollhouses with multiple floors and detailed features work well. The Victorian Dollhouse ($379.99) is our most popular option, featuring three floors including an attic, opening panels, and functional sashes that slide open and shut.
Choose Your Style: Traditional vs. Contemporary
Dollhouses come in different architectural styles, each offering unique play experiences:
Traditional Victorian Style: Our Victorian Dollhouse offers classic charm with its three-story design and period details. This style encourages storytelling about different eras and provides a timeless aesthetic that never goes out of style.
Modern Contemporary Style: The Contemporary Dollhouse ($249.99) features a sleek, modern design with adjustable wall segments. This two-story house comes with contemporary furniture including a bed, table, sofa, lamp, and complete bathroom and kitchen sets. The flexible design allows children to customize their space.
Portable and Unique Options: For families who value portability, consider the Amy Dollhouse Tote ($269.00). This handmade rattan dollhouse doubles as a carrying case, perfect for travel or small spaces.
Size and Space Considerations
Before purchasing, measure the space where the dollhouse will live. Consider both play space and storage:
- Large Dollhouses: The Victorian Dollhouse requires more floor space but offers extensive play possibilities
- Compact Options: The Slide N Go Dollhouse is designed for portability and smaller spaces
- Portable Solutions: The Amy Dollhouse Tote can be easily stored and transported
What's Included vs. What You'll Need to Buy
Our dollhouses come with different levels of furnishing:
Fully Furnished Options:
- Slide N Go Dollhouse: Includes 20 pieces of furniture covering all rooms
- Contemporary Dollhouse: Comes with 12 pieces including partitions, furniture, and fixtures

- Would your child enjoy building and customizing, or do they prefer everything ready to play?
